Halifax Real Estate News


Compliments of the Andrew Perkins Real Estate Team

Issue 2.8 - August 2022
 
As the summer winds down the Halifax Real Estate Market is not sure what it wants to do.  

The listing inventory is hovering around 800 (currently 814) listings for single-family homes, condos, and duplexes. That number has stayed consistent for the last 3-4 months. This still puts us in a solid seller's market with only 1.5 months of inventory.  

On the ground, we are seeing houses/condos staying on the market longer, and not getting multiple bids. Some still are but is a rarity these days. In August 557 new listings were brought to market, which is down from July when we had 660 new listings. The number of sales in August was 727(2021 was 909) with an average price of $526,000(2021 was $450,00). In July there were 778 sales with an average price of $571,000. The peak of the market seems to have been reached and things are getting somewhat back to normal, however, we are still a long way away from a balanced market. 

Historically, the last 4 months of the year listing inventory picks up and there is more choice for buyers. Sellers, you are still firmly in a seller's market, so if your property shows well and is priced right, you will get good activity. Whether buying, selling, or investing we are here to help you along your journey. Please reach out to us with any questions or information you need. If you would like to chat feel free to schedule an appointment by clicking the link below.

Halifax Real Estate Market
July 2022


 

This summer we have noticed significant shifts in the Halifax Real Estate Market. Houses and Condos are not receiving extreme bidding wars like they were in beginning of the year. Buyers are concerned about rising interest rates, inflation, and are scared off by how intense the market has been for the past two years.
